Great selection of Sci-fi and Fantasy books by Black authors... I always recommend checking out SFF which isn't writen by White Men, you'll experience such interesting takes and subverted tropes. It's healthy to broaden your horizons.

Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.

A woman who worked for nearly two years for Rep. Eric Swalwell, a leading candidate for California governor, said she had sexual encounters with him while he was her boss and alleged he twice sexually assaulted her when she was too intoxicated to consent.

CNN: Four women describe sexual misconduct by Rep. Eric Swalwell, including a former staffer who says he raped her

Watching the rescue and contrast between the Moon and the Pacific Ocean....you'd have to be NUTS to want to build a base on the Moon or go to Mars. Life is here. Color is here. Our home is here. We really need to take better care of it, and each other.

Wait if they refuse to come out and also claim their craft does that make them (returning from) space pirates

What could *possibly* go wrong?

There is no McTry.

Nope, OpenAI. You break us, you buy us.

The name literally starts with "Idiot."

Hi! I'm a scientist studying artificial stuff in animal nests, and I'm looking for a #Pokémon expert. 🌍 Yup, I found some Pokémon in a nest!! 😲 Specifically, the question concerns dating pieces of packaging, which might be tricky. Who knows EVERYTHING about Pokémon? Who can I send a DM to? 😅

Philz was never a "local" hang out. It was overbranded, with eyes on expansion from the beginning. To me (a researcher studying how brands develop and automation), this is absolutely not a surprise.

This may be lost in the noise--this is as impactful or more than the cuts to NIH and NSF 🧪

April 9 1951 — Famed pilot Jacqueline Cochran sets a world speed record of 464 mph over a 16-km straight course at Indio, California, in a North American F-51 Mustang.

Ford is on the wrong track--it isn't emotional state. In 2012, + 2x in 2015, Applin and Fisher published that #AVs would fail because driving is a social (and cultural (Applin 2016 on AVs and culture)) task. AVs have been failing because they cannot connect to other drivers in the shared roadspace.

Mercy.

Working the morning shift as a scholar in 1540, a browser tab and a word document opened on two screens, other needed texts opened and handy, an overfull mail account nearby, and a hot beverage in reach to make for the best working condition. Bonus: wearing a thinking hat. #academicchatter

"20 GIGABYTES!!!"

Some stars/planets identified

Whoa 🤯 The Moon, in full eclipse, with the #Artemis II Orion spacecraft. Part of the Moon and spacecraft are lit by Earthshine, and both Saturn and Mars are visible to the lower right. Incredible. Details: images.nasa.gov/details/art0...

“the most common cereals were emmer, einkorn…, six-row barley…, and bread or durum wheat… However, only emmer was identified in the bread, suggesting a deliberate selection of this cereal for making the ritual bread” Emmer&lentils, coarsely ground, baked @ 160°C prb fermented 👀 @seamus.bsky.social

This isn’t a lamentable side effect of these products. It’s the actual reason they exist.

Let's share something positive! Last week, I was a judge in a seagull-imitation competition (dream job!!), and this was the juvenile winner. Isn't she amazing?! 🤩 "Three, two, one ... 🐦"

Microsoft, to its billions of customers: You must use this product to be hired or promoted. It is the future. We are spending billions per day, choking the rest of the economy. You cannot avoid it. You cannot uninstall it. It is risky. Do not rely on it for anything important. It is a toy.

The #ArtemisII crew might be in zero gravity, but they make their own gravity by using Velcro, straps, clips, ziplock bags and other gravity devices. Gravity is created by material culture! #SpaceArchaeology

I’m gonna go into a dark room and scream for an hour can I get you guys anything

I hadn't seen this before. This is pretty remarkable. Earth and Moon in one NASA photo. ht @astrokatie.com

Even at its furthest point, the Orion spacecraft will still be within Earth's atmosphere ... the geocorona is a vast halo of hydrogen that extends for 630, 000 km. #ArtemisII 🧪 🔭

Depolarize a movie Snake on a Plane

ah yes www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

who could have seen this coming?

Depluralize a movie Star War

Elon Musk is now worth over $800 billion. Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025. Meanwhile, millions of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

It is only a matter of time when, after collecting data of what goes in, the glasses will collect data on what comes out--pwning the toilet company that wants to collect your BM data. A veritable 'race to the bottom.'

Pause to darkly appreciate that they call this stupid thing the Agentic Commerce Agent.

This so called "'AI' proficency" requires students to practice a form of sociability that is inherently non-social. This behavioral way of relating will leak into daily life, changing communiation in the Common even more than this stuff already has. Without sociability, we die, folks.

First, Outlook fails. Now: Houston, Bluetooth won't pair. Artemis II is NASA's most relatable mission yet.

How's the plumbing?

Honestly this is among the most depressing things I've seen in a while. Fundamentally anti-human, pro-loneliness.

No. Humans aren't ever going to Mars.
